She senses that her gain is good; her lamp does not go out at night. She stretches out her hands to the distaff and her hands grasp the spindle. She extends her hand to the poor, and she stretches out her hand to the needy. 31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet. Week 25 Homework

Of all we that we have studied on the mouth/tongue/words in Proverbs, what is highlighted in this text?

According to the New Testament, what are the sources of this wise mouth? (Try to find 2)
Does this mouth describe yours? As a believer you have the power to speak in this way. By whose power is your mouth speaking?
7. Does reading this chapter over and over bring any conviction to your soul? Are there any specific areas in your life that you are not being an excellent wife/woman/daughter/mother?
Look up Colossians 3:22-24. According to these verses, all of the work of our hands is to be done for the glory of God. Regardless of if you have a husband, father or male leader in your life or not, are you doing all your work for your Heavenly Groom? For yourself? For others praise? In your own strength and power?
Pam Forster, the author of Hidden Treasures says, “Let’s put aside our temptation to view this chapter as a checklist to ambitiously accomplish, thus proving our worth. And let’s also set aside the view of this beautiful chapter as a burdensome duty to wave off as impossible-to-accomplish-so-why-even-try. Instead, let’s look at Proverbs 31 as the call to rise up and follow our victorious king into battle, seizing the mission He assigns us, armed with His strength, empowered by His might, trained by His loving hand, and rejoicing over our already-conquered enemies.”
8. Work on your topical index with the verses in Chapter 31:13-27 in your notebook or on notebook paper if you aren’t doing Hidden Treasures.
